It is such a blessing to have a healthy and happy family and we thank Allah for it all the time. The one thing that makes us sad though, is living so far away from our family especially our parents. Both my parents and my husband (Samer's) parents live in Pakistan while we live in Boston. Sometimes, the distance doesn't feel that much in this age of technology. With the Facetiming and Skyping generation that we have become, it makes us feel closer to each other despite living far away from each other. However, once we had our son, Zain, we realized that he was the one missing out on all the love and affection from his grandparents. He sees them almost daily via Facetime and interacts with them very well now, at the age of 22 months. Still, it is not the same as being with them and them being able to hold him and play with him. So we were very excited when we finally planned our first trip to Pakistan this year with Zain. Preceding that, was my dad's visit to Boston and then we were all traveling together to Pakistan.
The highlight of Week 31 is the arrival of my dad to Boston and Zain's first meeting with his grandfather whom he lovingly calls Na-boo. Na-boo is a condensed version of Nana-Abu which is actually the word for maternal grandfather in Urdu.
Hope you enjoyed this post and the photos of the week. Thank you for checking my blog. Keep coming back for more posts. Until next time, take care!
